Report: Deshaun Watson emerged from Browns minicamp as favorite to be QB1
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns have begun forming their quarterback depth chart, with Deshaun Watson emerging as the favorite to start in Week 1 following minicamp practices.
- Both Watson and Shedeur Sanders received first-team reps, but Watson had more opportunities with the starters, reflecting the coaching staff's confidence in his experience.
- Watson's extensive experience and familiarity with various offensive schemes are valuable assets as the Browns install a new offense under head coach Todd Monken.
- Despite Sanders' potential, he will need to significantly impress the coaching staff during the remaining offseason program to overtake Watson as the starting quarterback.
- The Browns' offense is generally young, making Watson's leadership and ability to guide less experienced players a key factor in his current standing.
